I mentioned recently that I own a Carbon Fibre business supplying parts for Caterhams and Lotus Elises\Exiges and there was some interest in me supplying some Mini parts.
So would you be interested in Carbon Fibre parts for your Mini, if so what would you consider buying?
Please post what interest you may have in what parts and please post even if someone else has already said the same part as what you want, this will give me a better idea of what is popular.
If there is enough interest I will start work on Mini parts and become an NMS sponsor offering discounts etc.
Thanks
Kevin

Kevin,
Maybe also an interest to start with would be the downtubes in the MINI's even mostly the first Gen's as they are no longer able to supply from MINI :thumbs up:

Calm down, it all depends on the price ;). I will still use the caps for a good while. It may be too expensive to justify :frown: then you will have the rest to do :lol:
appreciate the effort :yes nod:

Thanks for the replies guys.
Looks like I will add the Mini bits to the business and become a sponsor on here too.
The handle (door and boot), mirror covers (internal and external) and bonnet scoop all ok.
Fuel filler cap - I will need to investigate these further, so it would be 2011 at the earliest for those.
"Downtubes" - are these the 2 columns in the radio dash area? If so shouldnt be a problem.
Once we get a little bit further I will get sorted with my sponsorship and then can keep you all updated
For people offering their cars as test mules - thanks for the offer and I will be in touch in the future
Cheers
